Gregory Soto is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2026 he struck out 79 batters over 66.0 innings across 68 appearances, going 6-5. His ERA of 3.68 is 11.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 15 on his team, and 203rd of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.33 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 27.4% of swings (11.8% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 28.0%. His 1.1 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
